My candle burns at both ends;

It will not last the night;

But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends-

It’s Lit Review time!

The Twitterary Review

This week on Twitter, the Lit Review has been doing some investigative work.

Spare a thought.

Alas, you two Leo…

That would explain the rules of velodrome cycling.
